They have daily specials as well as their regular menu. Very friendly and informative staff. I had the daily special - arroz con pollo. It came with a potato and beet salad, fried plantains, and some cheese. It was delicious! My husband had their cachapa tradicional - which was awesome! Highly recommend!

If you’re looking for an authentic taste of Venezuela, this restaurant is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the warm ambiance and vibrant decor—often showcasing colorful posters of Venezuelan landscapes and traditional artifacts—transport you straight to the heart of the country.
Food The menu is a celebration of Venezuelan cuisine. Start with the arepas, which are perfectly golden on the outside and stuffed generously with fillings like shredded beef (reina pepiada) or cheese. The pabellón criollo, a national dish featuring tender shredded beef, black beans, rice, and sweet plantains, is a must-try. For a snack, the tequeños (cheese sticks wrapped in crispy dough) are addictive, and the cachapas (sweet corn pancakes) topped with fresh white cheese are heavenly.
Drinks and Desserts Don’t miss the chance to try the the refreshing papelón con limón (sugarcane lemonade). For dessert, the quesillo (Venezuelan flan) .
Service The staff is friendly and passionate about sharing their culture. They’re always happy to recommend dishes and explain the history behind them. Service is attentive without being intrusive, adding to the overall welcoming vibe.
Final Thoughts This restaurant offers a delightful journey through the rich flavors and traditions of Venezuela. Whether you’re a first-timer or someone longing for a taste of home, it’s a place worth visiting again and again. Highly recommended!

Fact Speaker
Don’t you love it when you visit a city and find a hidden gem? This restaurant is one of them. It’s a locally owned small business and very small in space and menu selection. However, they showed they have the local small business heart that focuses on authenticity and quality. From the service to the food quality, everything was great. Places like this show what the standard should be.
Loved everything we ordered especially the green sauce is so yummy! We got to try almost every dish on the Sunday menu: fried cheese, cachapa, arepa and the empanada! We will definitely be back 💯 10/10 service as well! Super friendly and helpful service!
Delicious, hospitable, authentic, and affordable!!!

I was craving home food (from Nicaragua but some things in our cuisine are very alike). I loved their meat rice and beans plate with maduros. Their chicken and avocado arepa was super tasty! And we loved their homemade flan. Cute little place with excellent service!

This was a good experience overall, definitely going back. The food was great and the service on point. Bummer the specialty options were not available when I visited as I was looking to get some of them but oh well, maybe next time. Few mishaps with the order as well but they were quick to address.
It’s a rather small establishment so seat availability may be an issue during peak hours. Other than that, I definitely recommend.

Truly authentic Venezuelan food with amazing customer service. If you’re familiar with South American food you’ll recognize the sweet and savory elements in the cachapa full and vegetarian arepa. They were stuffed with shredded meat, a unique Venezuelan white cheese, and sweet plantain. The portions are very filling. Don’t sleep on this place.
Vegetarian options: Vegetarian cachapa had black beans, rice, sweet plantain, and avocado.
